Paint Dries as a Train Goes Off The Rails - Paperback

by Nicholas Marchuk (Author)

When a freight train crashes into Connor's neighborhood, the ensuing fire leaves him homeless. He shares a cramped hotel room with his restless yet magnetic coworker, Kara. Thrown together as they rebuild, it's easy for them to fall for each other. When their cherished neighborhood is set to be demolished and replaced with a park, she leads Connor and his friends on a last-ditch act of defiance: a concert at the site of the accident, featuring the musicians who lost their homes, to prove their community is worth saving. As friendships, relationships, and lives are strained, he confronts a simple question: What if giving all of something isn't enough?
